warrant
Judge's signed permission
Warrant centers on authorization or justification.
A warrant is a document authorizing an action—especially a search warrant or arrest warrant issued by a judge: Police obtained a warrant before entering the premises.
To warrant something is to justify or call for it: The situation warrants further investigation.
A warranty is a related guarantee.
As a noun, warrant also means grounds or reason: There's no warrant for such harsh criticism.
